The POWER UP pilots explore business opportunities for energy efficiency services and renewables that benefit people in energy poverty. We co-design those services together with the most vulnerable.
In this episode of Energ’Ethic Eduardo Blanco from Energy Cities, coordinator of the POWER UP project, shares insights from the pilots and explains why building fair energy systems looks less like engineering and more like embroidery.
The energy services developed by and for people in energy poverty in the POWER UP pilots are meant to guide municipal work across Europe and to inform policymaking at EU level. 2026 will mark a shift for municipalities working on energy poverty and energy communities.
